Hydrogen Market Segmental Analysis

The Global Hydrogen Market is segmented by Sector, Application, and Region. Based on Sector, the market is segmented into Generation Type (Gray Hydrogen, Blue Hydrogen, Green Hydrogen), Storage (Physical, Material-based), and Transportation (Long Distance, Short Distance). Based on Application, the market is segmented into Energy [Power Generation, Combined Heat & power (CHP)], Mobility, and Chemical & Refinery (Petroleum Refinery, Ammonia Production, Methanol Production). By Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. 

Hydrogen Market Analysis by Sector 

Based on sector, the Hydrogen market is categorized into generation type, storage, transportation. The generation type segment is projected to lead the market over the forecast period owing to different production techniques. Generation type comprises different techniques for hydrogen production like electrolysis, (SMR) steam methane reforming, and gasification. This enables flexibility in fulfilling the growing demands of the market and responding to improvements in technologies. Moreover, the rising demand for hydrogen produced by electrolysis method is also propelling the segment growth. 

On the other hand, the storage segment is expected to grow at a considerable pace in the coming years owing to the challenges with density of hydrogen. Hydrogen holds low energy density that demands advanced solutions for storage. This will make it practical to be used for multiple applications. Effective techniques of storage are vital to address these challenges. This is driving the growth of the storage segment as compared to the transportation segment. 

Hydrogen Market Analysis by Application 

Based on application, the Hydrogen market is categorized as energy, mobility, and chemical & refinery. The energy segment holds the majority share of the market and will lead over the forecast period owing to its vital role in several application areas. Hydrogen has been recognized for its optimal potential in areas like power generation, energy storage, transportation, industrial, and others. Moreover, hydrogen helps in diversification of energy sources and minimizes dependency on fossil fuels, which improves security and aids energy strategies nation-wise. This is notably impacting the growth of the energy segment in the hydrogen market. 

However, the mobility segment is projected to grow at a considerable share due to numerous compelling reasons like quick refueling, long drive range, and heavy-duty applications among others. Hydrogen FCVs offer comparatively longer driving range than battery EVs, making them suitable for long distance applications like passenger cars, buses, and trucks. Moreover, the FCVs can be refueled in a few minutes, impacting in increased demand. These factors will help the segment grow significantly in the coming years.
